XML indentation in UltraEdit

Background

With UltraEdit you have the option to properly format XML content:

View > View as (Highlighting file type) > XML

Which changes the coloring so that tags, attributes and content are better readable.

Then you can do:

Format > XML Convert to CR/LFs

So that line breaks are appropriately applied.

What I need

What I am missing is proper indentation. You can collapse/expand segments, but without proper indentation it's hard to see the underlying structure.

Question

How can I apply proper indentation to the XML content?

Solution

  • The only answer I've found to this is to use Notepad ++ with the XML Tools plugin. Does exactly what you've described and more with a few simple clicks.
